In 2027, a meteor strikes and wipes out every comedian on earth. Every comedian – but one. Fifty years later, an arctic researcher discovers an ancient artform known as 'the joke'. In response, the Government decides to awaken the world’s last-known comedian from cryosleep – Con Coutis.

CON 2077 takes comedy to new heights through a sophisticated use of sound cues effortlessly weaved throughout the show. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and surround sound, the show creates a sonic landscape that enhances the humor and storytelling in ways that defy convention.
